Hi Everyone, I have a client where we are publishing Chrome with a URL passed as the parameter in Horizon. They want to display a custom icon rather than the the Chrome icon in the Horizon web portal. We've followed Change the Icon of a Published Application instructions and associated the icon, but for some reason the Chrome icon is still being displayed in the web portal. The application itself is presented via a global entitlement, but we currently only have a single local pool attached to it (which has the custom icon set). We've double checked the icon and it is a 90x90 pixel .png - so well within the restrictions in the documentation. Anyone have any ideas why the custom icon isn't being displayed?

Found the issue. The DelayVirtualizationType registry key had not been set on the golden image for the RDSH Farm (as per the last line of Install App Volumes Agent  ) So App Volumes wasn't fully mounting the applications until logon - as designed. After setting the registry key and re-publishing the applications are getting properly mounted at start-up and Horizon is able to find them. *Face-palm*

HI All, I'm working on a deployment using Horizon to publish applications. The applications are hosted on an Instant Clone RDSH Farm and are mounted using Applications in App Volumes 4. However, we're seeing an issue where the Horizon agent isn't able to find the application, even though the Application vdmk has been mounted to the VM: 2020-08-03T14:44:34.582+02:00 INFO  (11A4-17A4) <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [ws_applaunchmgr] Creating Shortcut from "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Completion String Design.lnk" 2020-08-03T14:44:34.582+02:00 INFO  (11A4-17A4) <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [ws_applaunchmgr] Resolving shortcut "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Completion String Design.lnk" 2020-08-03T14:44:34.582+02:00 ERROR (11A4-17A4) <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [ws_applaunchmgr] "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Completion String Design.lnk": failed to load IPeristFile I'm suspecting that App Volumes isn't actually creating the start menu entries until a user actually logs in, but this would totally break Horizon's discovery of the app(s). The VMware documentation is wonderfully vague on publishing applications using App Volumes and seems to imply that "it just works." Has anyone else encountered this issue? Am I missing something?

Hi All, I'm working on an App Volumes 4 deployment with instant clone RDS-Hosts to support VMware Horizon published applications. I've captured an application, assigned it to the computer object and manually tested that it works on my RDS Farm. But I have noticed some odd/annoying behaviour when the RDS-Hosts start up. I see the application VMDK get attached to the RDS-Host VM during start up, but things such as the Start Menu entries don't appear until about 10 seconds after a user actually logs into the host. This is the case even if I leave the RDSH alone for 5 minutes after booting. This is then causing problems for Horizon when it is scanning for the applications (which is done at start up and usually before anyone can log into the RDSH), as it can't find them. I'm currently using the following: App Volumes Manager - 4,  version 2006 App Volume Manager - 4.1.0.57 RDSH - Windows Server 2016 Horizon - 7.10 I'm having trouble extracting the logs at the moment, but will post them if I can get them out. I was just wondering is this expected behaviour? Has anyone seen this sort of thing before?
